NIMH Studies Seeking Participants

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

National Institute of Mental Health Clinical Trials
http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/trials/index.shtml
I personally have mixed feeling about these trials and would not involve my child in any that involved medication but I do think participating in these studies can be a good way to get tests and services that one might not be able to afford or have access to [...]
